The CP asymmetry is studied for hierarchical and nearly degenerate heavy-neutrino masses and the analysis includes the treatment of lepton-flavor effects.  Heavy Majorana neutrinos are involved in many scenarios of physics beyond the standard model and, in the leptogenesis framework, they are at the root of the baryon asymmetry in the Universe. Besides simplifying existing results, the EFT approach provides useful tools for addressing even more involved observables. Indeed, taken together, the approach and the material pres ented here represent an important step toward a systematic improvement of our knowledge of the CP asymmetry in heavy-neutrino decays at finite temperature.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Particles (Nuclear physics)Quantum field theoryCosmologyString modelsElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Quantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Particles (Nuclear physics)Quantum field theory.Cosmology.String models.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Cosmology.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.410.72Biondini Simoneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut819574BOOK9910254601903321Effective Field Theories for Heavy Majorana Neutrinos in a Thermal Bath1826454UNINA04748nam 22008655 450 991025495110332120251116144845.09781137561121113756112210.1007/978-1-137-56112-1(CKB)3710000000526514(EBL)4185103(SSID)ssj0001580842(PQKBManifestationID)16258608(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001580842(PQKBWorkID)13864218(PQKB)10005164(DE-He213)978-1-137-56112-1(MiAaPQ)EBC4185103(PPN)228321689(Perlego)3489926(EXLCZ)99371000000052651420160220d2016 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSustainable Industrialization in Africa Towards a New Development Agenda /edited by Banji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka, Padmashree Gehl Sampath1st ed. 2016.London :Palgrave Macmillan UK :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2016.1 online resource (229 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9781349573608 1349573604 9781137561114 1137561114 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover ; Title ; Copyright ; Contents; List of Illustrations; Foreword; Preface; Notes on Contributors; 1 Sustainable Industrialization in Africa: Toward a New Development Agenda ; 2 Revisiting the MDGs in an African Perspective: Lessons for the Sustainable Development Goals3 Challenges to and Opportunities for Structural Transformation: Africa's Service Sector 4 Linkage Dynamics and Natural Resources: Diversification and Catch-Up ; 5 External Opportunities, Innovation and Industrial Growth: The Case of GVCs in Africa6 Growth and Structural Change in Africa: Development Strategies for the Learning Economy 7 Using Industrialization to Raise Urban Living Standards ; 8 Sustainable Development and Inequality of Opportunity in Africa ; IndexSustainable Industrialization in Africa explores the issues that confront development policy in the context of the MDGs and the post-2015 development agenda from an African perspective. The book argues that development is an ultimate outcome of sustainable, equitable industrialization, and that any development agenda for the future has to ensure that industrialization is fostered in a way that makes economies independent and responsive to the needs of all citizens. Future challenges for sustainable industrialization in Africa, based upon the differences in its current industrialization trajectories, are discussed to ensure that industrial growth results in positive economic and social outcomes in the context of the post-2015 development agenda.Development economicsInternational business enterprisesStrategic planningLeadershipManagementIndustrial organizationInternational economic relationsDevelopment EconomicsInternational BusinessBusiness Strategy and LeadershipManagementIndustrial OrganizationInternational EconomicsDevelopment economics.International business enterprises.Strategic planning.Leadership.Management.Industrial organization.International economic relations.Development Economics.International Business.Business Strategy and Leadership.Management.Industrial Organization.International Economics.338.96/07Oyelaran-Oyeyinka Banjiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSampath Padmashree Gehledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254951103321Sustainable Industrialization in Africa2252245UNINA
